What this code means
E24
The oven reached an overheat condition of 500°F (260°C).
Code overview
Seeing E24 means the oven hit an overheat condition at 500°F (260°C). Maytag points to the thermal sensor, the gas sensor, the appliance control board, or the associated wiring. This is an over-the-range microwave display.
Reset sequence
The reset begins at the circuit breaker(s): turn them off for one (1) minute. Power up again by turning on the circuit breaker(s). For the following minute, monitor the microwave and make sure the code stays away. Close out by verifying that operation is normal.
If E24 does not stay cleared, arrange for a qualified technician to look at the unit.
